He may be a geek with his sox and sandels, but he does know his math.

A very nice guy. He teaches very well. If a student doesn't get something he will explain the problem untill everyone gets it. He doesn't make you do your homework, but it is a good idea to do it and if you do, you will not have any problems on the test

i think he is a great teacher. He explains things until everyone understands. The tests are fair if you do your homework. I plan on taking him again for college algebra next semester.

Very easy. Easy tests, easy homework. Easily got A.

Great self-paced teacher. He clearly explained any difficult concepts to me in a way that I could understand. I didn't have a problem with him grading my tests, if fact he graded my tests in front of me so I could ask questions on what I got wrong.

I'm baffled by some of these ratings! i think this guy is a fine professor. He teaches concepts instead of just straight memorizing. it forces you to think more on the college level. It was this depth that helped me to finally understand math.

I thought he was a good professor. Very fair tests and reasonable HW assignments. He taught well, and was funny too.

great great great!!!

He was nice, he was willing to explain everything. However, he tried to explain some things so they would be simple but they ended up being more confusing. He was eager for everyone to grasp the concepts and even more eager about math in general!

He makes the class so simple that anyone can pass it. He goes through lessons very slow and always asks if there are any questions. Not hard on due dates or absences although he tells you he is on the first day. For the final, he told us what kind of problem each single one was (36 multiple choice)

Good teacher.

Mr. Overhiser is very easy to talk to and get along with. I took his self-paced Trig class, and he knew the subject matter very well, while hosting 4 other self-paced subjects at the same time. This guy's math knowledge is amazing. If you need math, I'd definitely recommend him.

I took him for college algebra self paced. He was so patient with me even though I failed a couple of tests. He made me feel like I could do it and I did. I passed the class with a lot of hard work and encouragement from him.

Easiest math class. This college algebra class was easier than my high school pre-calc class. He goes at the students pace, so everyone will understand everything, he did help the slower bunch who had to refresh. You use your book for tests in class, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for college algebra.

Overhiser was a great teacher. I was able to understand the deep meaning behind calculus. I didn't get that when I took it in high school. I actually UNDERSTAND what calculus is all about and see the big picture now. I wish I could take more math classes with him.

Highly recomended, at least for Calculus. He was caring, patient, and compassionate. He really took my personal issues into consideration. I just wish he were teaching Calculus 2 in the near future. His test were a little hard but you get used to the format after the first one. You have to actively ask questions in class to really get it.

Awesome teacher!!! You really learn on a deep level when you take his class. Not the easiest of professors but it is clearly evident that he loves what he does and cares for his students.

Prof. Overhiser is so bubbly about calculus that it's hard not to enjoy it. He provides solutions to all homeworks, which he doesn't collect, and his tests, for which he provides a very in depth study guide, are taken directly from the homeworks.

great class. prof. overhiser rocks! he has his own website with lots of stuff on it to help the students out.

Prof. Overhiser has a wonderful teaching style. He is easily understandable and extremly helpful. He will do anything in his power to help you undertand the math both in and out of class. If you want a great instructor Prof. Overhiser is one of the best.

OMG,I got an A! Not a natural math person and the only difficulty that I had, and I think that this is what others might mean, is that he is such a genius at math! It's like he and I speak different languages. He does "prove" a lot on the board, but that is what helped me. "If, then." Don't second guess...these are the rules. He teaches confidence.

the techer is hard. i'm glad i took him though b/c now i am doing very well in physics with calc. he really prepared me well for this class. i'm one of the few people who are actually passing it.

I like his teaching style. He teaches for understanding not just a superficial approach. I can honestly say I undertsand calculus a lot better than in high school. He focuses on concepts and not just computations and memorizations. If you REALLY want to understand calculus I recommend him.

He is a really good professor. Attendance is mandatory beucase you don't want to miss all the things that he'll be covering. If you do all your homework problems before the test, you'll pass almost all his tests and will get a good grade. Overall he is an ok teacher. I would recommend him to my friends.

he is kinda hard i hafta agree. he explains very clearly though. he's very patient with everyone in class and always wants you to bring questions to class to talk about. there's alot of hw....one of the reasons why he's so hard.

I thought his class was easy. Then again, I'm really great at math to begin with too. Doing the HW is really the only way to do well on his exams. He really makes you understand in depth the concepts and theories behind everything; I really like that style/philosophy. Don't take him if you want an easy grade though.

great guy, great teacher, pretty hard but very patient and friendly.

Wow, he sure beats any of my professors at UCF! I'm glad I took this class with him. I really understand how to prove things now. This has really helped me be successful in my linear algebra class. Highly recomended!

Great teacher. Explains everything with good examples. Wish he teached Calc II and III as well.

Great teaching ability.

Best teacher ever.. THe test are the Homework.. just study all the questions and you will get an A!!

He was a decent teacher, he expected you know Calc I, but was very helpful and always available during office hours taking the time to further help you out. I can see why some people wont like him as he went very fast, but with the Mathlab and office hours I did fine.

Professor Overhiser is one of the finest teachers at VCC. His lectures and homework problems are rich and to the point. He collects homework and there are 4 tests and A Final. I was able to get an A+ on every test and assignment, you just have to study.. a lot . I recommend him to anyone who has a brain.

Got an A.Take advantage of the library tutors and their solutions manual.It will help you get thru hw much quicker, and they are very helpful in helping with any question.Collects hw on test day.Give it a once over.Make sure you know how to solve every qu w no help.Usually 6 sections per test,15 hw qu per section.He's easy,fun, and friendly

Prof Overhiser is amazing. He goes through ever step and makes sure his students fully understand what's going on. He expects a lot from his students, such as doing homework and succeeding, but all professors should. I'm taking him now For Calc I and I am exnjoying it sooooo much! I highly recommend him!

I am not a math person, but got by with a B. If you have to calc this is the way to go. Examples in class were not the same as homework or tests. So you really need to understand the concepts to get a good grade,but he is also a lenient grader. Most of the people failing never did homework-it's worth a test grade.

Do your homework and you'll be fine. He LOVES math. I got an A. He will explain homework problems to you. Get a graphing calculator!! Rent it at least

good professor. Gives very good notes.

I'm terrible at math but Overhiser is incredibly helpful. All you have to do is go to him and ask for help. He's really easy to talk to. It's always nice to have a teacher who is excited to be there and loves what he does.

great class. i learned more from him than all my previous math classes combined.

Do HW,study Hw,& online worksheets and you will do pretty good.Pay attention in class and take notes.Detailed and clear, but still hard for you non-math lovers like myself.No helps, like bonus,drop lowest grade,etc. I busted my arse and got a B.Took for ColAlg and got an A.Take if you need to, but not my top pick.Try McClowski.Easier to get an A

He is the best teacher in any math class I've ever had, literally. He will go over the hw problems you need to, and will explain it in multiple ways if you don't get it at first. You can ask him any questions you have in class, and he'll answer them. Excellent teacher but you must go to class, take notes, and do hw. Calc is tough, he makes it easy.

Great Profs are hard to come by for math. his teaching style may not work for everyone, but he KNOWS his stuff and genuinely cares about helping students. Homework was extensive, but it wasn't repetitive. He picked the good problems and forced you to learn on those. Keep up with homework and even if you withdraw, you will get alot from this.

Excellent teacher. Calculus requires home studying. There is no way that everything can be covered in the class, but if you have problems with homework he takes time to explain and make sure you understand the problem. He says upfront what will be on the test that give you a chance to prepare better.

Prof. Overhiser is very clear and his teaching style is amazing!!! Go to every class, do the homework and you will really do well. If you have any inconvenience just talk to him and he will understand. It's only the beginning of the semester but I have learned so much with him already, I'm sure I will do very well.

Pretty Clear.a jokster. Gave homework every night which sucked but if helped me make good grades on the test.

Only gives you 5 chances for grades all semester so not easy at all but if you just do the homework and study a bit for the test he is not hard at all

Most of his homework is through online assignments. He gives a lot of extra credit opportunities in each test. If you are taking him pay attention to his class and you MUST do the assignments to get and A in each test. Make sure you have at least 6 or more hours a week to complete the assignments. Overall great instructor and likes to make jokes.

He is a good teacher. A lot of assignments but easiest ones from the textbook. His solutions are a little bit different from the book. However, you will be confused if you are not good at math because his teaching style is sometimes confusing.

Gives study guides that are exact layouts of the test, uses ALEKS so be prepared to do homework every night, but only for an hour or two. While ALEKS doesn't necessarily prepare you for the tests it helps master concepts. Just do the study guides, don't be afraid of tutors or asking for help, and don't fall behind in ALEKS.

He is okay, explain everything pretty good during class, not many test but could take big portion of your grade, homework matters. He personally can be a little awkward (for me), but the way he explain things and the course structure works (for me). I would take him again. Attend class, because he go over anythings in class.

He explains from the bottom to the top, until you completely understands the subject. His homeworks are fine, and his tests/quizzes are equal to the homeworks. Just do all homeworks on time, ask your questions, and you will ve ready. Quizzes almost every week, be prepared!

I had a great semester with Professor Overhiser. His course is structured and planned out upon the start of the course so you always know what your going to learn before class has even started. I would definitely recommend taking this class with Professor Overhiser if you are willing to put in the work. Overall great professor! Highly reccommended!

His homework is much easier than his tests. Gives time to a few questions before the class begins. Lots of homework!! But if you do it on time, you will definitely will pass with an A.

I took his class on campus. He gives homework for every lesson and there is a quiz every week. 4 tests counting the final. He teaches good and his quizzes are very easy, easier than the homework. His tests are not hard either. He gives extra credit. He cares about his students and he is great! TAKE HIM!!!

Did class Spring 2017. No extra credit. Math Lab is mandatory, if spent a lot of time on it, & help of tutors, it will lift grade by making sure it's 100%. 3 tests15%, weekly quizzes10%, math lab20% and final exam25% is the whole grade. % is approx of what I remember. He's clear, but only able to reach in office hours outside of class. Grades Fair.

Great professor. Very accessible if you need help. Will answer questions and tries to make sure you understand it. Has some funny stories (his laugh is even more hilarious). Easy A if you take his class.

Is very clear with his teaching but if your not sure on something he'll explain it. All his test are in the classroom and are on problems that he tells us are on the test before hand. The homework is all online and helps with preparation for the test.

I teach myself for all my courses. A very important skill to have as you will run into professors with bad teaching methods. With Prof Overhiser, I noticed that this was not the case. Even though I didn't need the teaching, his lectures were easy to follow, things explained well making the derivations not explained well in the book understandable.

I took a 6 weeks class and I had to drop the class. He gives Awesome lectures and makes you understand everything. Homework is by hand and its alot but it helps alot!!! Dont wait till last minute to do it, it wont work. His test were the problem. They are 23 questions. First 20 were no partial credit and the last 3 are. Failed all of them.

If you want extra credits, don't take him. if you want an easy A, don't take him. if you are not good at math, don't take him. if you will play with your phones in the class, don't take him. quiz every week. attendance is mandatory. he gives some helpful tips. he is caring and funny. if you really put in efforts, you are fine no matter what.

I think that he is a great calculus professor. He really tries to make you understand the lesson with lots of analogies. There is a homework assignment with every lesson and a quiz every other lesson. Never a time that there is something unexpected. He even literally tells you what's on the test. But don't take it to easy, calculus is still hard.

Overhiser really cares that students understand the material. He gives regular quizzes and homework that are extremely helpful preparing for tests. Does test reviews before every test to let you know what will be on it. If you show up and don't procrastinate on the homework, you'll be fine.

Highly recommend. He is the only professor to make me think critically about how different formulas are related to one another and to concepts learned in previous math classes. He is always willing to explain a concept until you get it, but you have to actively participate and ask questions when something isn't clear. 12 quizzes, 3 tests & final.

Take professor Overhiser! I took Calc 2 twice before him and failed both times. He makes things make sense to you and he always stayed after class if anyone had any questions. He is also the only Math professor that I have had that tales the time to know his students. His tests are a little long, but also very easy.

He provides PLENTY of resources to be successful in his class. Work was always due Sunday at midnight. The class never felt overwhelming in any way. He is available through email and zoom if you need it. There is no extra credit or extensions on work, but as long as you stay on top of things there isn't really a need for it.

Go to class and pay attention and you should be good. He explains things in a way that makes it easy to understand and if you don't understand, he will stop to explain until he continues with the material. There are quizzes every week. Homework is easy( you get like 5 attempts per question). Test are easy as well if you study. Not a tough grader.

Kurt Overhiser is a straight shooter with what he expects from you. His grading scale is a 94-100 for an A. I finished with a 90 and did n0t know this until the end which was totally my fault. He is very informative and helpful just do not be afraid to ask. His testing is not proctored.(hope this helps)

He gives lots of resources (besides the textbook) to help you understand the concepts. He also really helps if you are confused on anything. Though be prepared because there is a lot of homework and like 2-3 sections per week. Tough but doable.

If you take his class, then you will be forced to learn the material. He does not hold your hand like other college professors. He is very well organized and grades things very quickly. He has rubrics which means grading is transparent and fair. Lazy people should stay away, this is for people who really love math/learning.

Prof. Overhiser really loves feedback about his lessons and is constantly looking for ways to make his lectures easier to digest and understand. He would ask us after almost every class for feedback and suggestions. He went a bit easy on me when grading quizzes, I think because I took the time to go to his office hours. They are very helpful

Best math prof. three exams each 15% final is 18%. HW is 20% quizzes 20%. Clear lectures. Go to his office hours if necessary. Don't study last minute. Do some of the non-graded hw everyday so you only have to review when studying. Ask questions. He's sacarstic

I took this class online which I thought was going to be horrible because I struggle with math, but each of the lessons are summarized and broken down so well that it's easy to understand. The lessons are taught through roughy 25 minute videos that are followed by a quiz, but as long as you take notes and follow along they are easy to pass.

Professor Overhiser gives you many homework and portfolio assignments to keep your grades up if you don't do well on the in person midterm and finals. The in person tests were definitely the most difficult part of the course, but he gives you a solid study guide for both. If you're willing to put in the effort, I highly recommend his class.

I had to retake college algebra and I am not the best at math, but I actually learned and passed this time. Very good teacher.
